Harvest can be a key element of reaching media in a memorable way. On October 2, the California Walnut Commission welcomed 16 guests representing media from South Korea, Spain, China, and Germany to the first International Harvest Tour.

The California Walnut Commission has been printing and mailing Walnut News to industry members for many years. While this has been and continues to be a reliable way to inform industry members about news and the activities of the California Walnut Board and Commission, as the industry grows, so does our need to communicate with our members in a more timely manner.
